49ers Call in The Nature Boy to Fire Them Up

((ht: pfz.com))

Woooooo!

Football teams will sometimes use some interesting tactics to get their players fired up or motivated for a big game.

With that thought in mind, as they settled in on Saturday night before Sunday's NFL Playoff game vs. the Green Bay Packers,  the San Francisco 49ers decided to bring in someone who excels at firing people up.

That someone: None other than Pro Wrestling Legend "Nature Boy" Ric Flair….

The team flew the Nature Boy up from Charlotte to Green Bay to get the 49ers "Stylin' and Profilin" knowing full well that "To be the Man, you gotta BEAT the man"….or in this case Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers…

Judge Orders Ric Flair's Arrest Over Lack Of Spousal Support

((HT: WCNC-TV/WBTV))

A Mecklenburg County (NC) judge has issued an order for the arrest Ric Flair, who was held in contempt earlier this month for not paying his estranged wife more than $32,000 in spousal support.

Flair was supposed to be paying $4,000 a month to Jacqueline Beems (his fourth wife), who filed for a legal separation last June. The two were divorced late last year. The money was intended to go for her car payment, health insurance and legal fees. Flair hasn't paid $32,352.51, according to court documents obtained by the Charlotte Observer newspaper and Brad Smith, Beems’ attorney.

The order for arrest was issued two weeks ago, but Flair can stay out of jail if he pays up...

Smith said Beems doesn’t know where Flair is.
The HQ would like to tell Smith and Beems that all they have to do is look hyah...

Smith has also said recent accusations that Beems made harassing phone calls to Flair’s new girlfriend are “unfounded and outlandish.”

But...

Beems turned herself yesterday and was charged with "making a harassing phone call"- a misdemeanor. She’s accused of making a series of phone calls to Wendy Barlow Kidder, Flair’s girlfriend, according to Smith. Beems was released on a $500 bond.

Flair and Beems were married in November 2009 and separated in June 2012, when Beems accused her husband of committing “acts of marital misconduct.”

Basically, having multiple affairs... which Flair, of course, is denying...

Chicago Blackhawks goalie Corey Crawford may have been celebrating a little bit before (and, maybe, during) the victory parade...

Judge for yourself...


So much for having a 7-second delay to prevent such things for a live event on mid-day television...

Ah, but the kids looked like they were having fun...

DEVELOPING: Reid Flair Passes At 25

According to wrestlingobserver.com, Flair was found dead today and there are few details in any cause at present...

According to his Twitter feed, he was looking forward to participating in some matches with his father in Hagerstown, Maryland over the weekend...

Two shows in Maryland this weekend with Pops. Good wrestling and even better times ahead.

But Flair was found dead in a hotel room in Charlotte, North Carolina this morning...

He had spent time recently in All Japan Wrestling getting some experience...
Here's a match from February...


According to the Charlotte Observer, local detectives determined that there didn’t appear to be foul play involved.

Also from the Observer staff reports:

Ric Flair's agent, Melinda Morris Zanoni of Legacy Talent and Entertainment, issued a statement on Facebook: "We are heartbroken to confirm that Ric's son, Reid Fliehr, has passed away today March 29, 2013 in Charlotte, NC.

“The investigation into the cause of death is ongoing. Reid was 25 and an incredible son, brother, friend, and professional wrestler. No words can describe the grief that Ric and his family are experiencing and they do request privacy during this devastating time."

More when we know more...

Nature Boy And Ms. Naitch Get In Another Fight

Ric Flair and his wife, Jacqueline, met in 2004 and were married six years later...

Since then, it seems, all they do is occasionally fight...

Last night was no different...

Wrestler Ric Flair and his wife were involved in an altercation at the couple's SouthPark condo Monday night, according to a Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department report.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg County Police say last night Mrs. Flair assaulted Mr. Flair at their condo, but no one was arrested or went to hospital.

This isn't the first time she has been known to assault him. In February 2010, there was another domestic dispute at the biggest house on the biggest hill on the biggest side of town...

Why...???
((HT: WWE/youtube))


Back then, police said Flair's wife punched him in the face. She was charged with assault, but those charges were dropped by the DA five months later due to a lack of evidence.

All the HQ can say is that this is really sad...
